A Couple Interesting Ideas
- Teams piloting AI tools for key processes
- Early wins in specific departments
- 15-20% of your company trying something
- Unclear which tools stick around
Home / Ignite
Your Company Is Using AI. But You Don't Have a Real Strategy.
Your team has interesting ideas for process automation and data insights. Some are using ChatGPT, others Claude or Copilot. But there's no unified approach to make them production-ready and secure. OnTrac AI Ignite builds your AI strategy and roadmap in 60 days, with working automation already deployed.

The Reality Check
You've Tried AI Tools. A Few People Love Them. Most Don't Use Them.
This is where 60-70% of operations leaders start: tools subscribed, early concepts working in pockets, but no unified strategy to scale across the company.
No Unified Approach
- Each department using different tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot)
- No governance, no standards, no coordination
- Leadership can't answer: "What's our AI strategy?"
- You KNOW there's more potential, but where do you even start?
Leaving Value on the Table
- $30-50k/month on subscribed tools. Unclear ROI.
- Critical workflows still running manually
- Team adoption inconsistent across departments
- Board asking: "What are we actually getting from AI?"
Sound familiar? This is where 60-70% of our clients start.
The Ignite process
How OnTrac AI Ignite Works
Three phases. Eight weeks. One outcome: a board-ready AI strategy with working automation already running in your operations.
01
Week 1-2 · Discover
Map Your AI Landscape
We interview the people who run your operations:
Who we talk to
- Operations leaders
- Department heads
- Systems administrators
- IT (who knows where your systems break)
We audit what AI tools you're already using and where the manual bottlenecks actually hurt.

Current State Report

Week 3-4 · Design
Build Your AI Roadmap
We score every opportunity using our Realized Value Matrix™ (RVM):
What we score
- Impact: what's the potential bottom-line impact?
- Effort: how hard is it to build and integrate?
- Adoption: will your team actually use it?
Not just what's technically possible. What will your team actually adopt?

The Framework
Our Realized Value Matrix™ (RVM)
Most firms score: Impact × Effort
We add a third dimension: Adoption Readiness
Because the best AI strategy is worthless if your team doesn't use it.
Three dimensions
Impact. Effort. Adoption Readiness.
Every opportunity in your Ignite roadmap is evaluated on three dimensions:
Impact: Do we save time, increase revenue or expand profitability?
Effort: How hard is it to build and integrate with your existing systems?
Adoption Readiness: Will your team actually use this, or will it sit on a shelf like the last consultant's recommendations?
This is what separates a theoretical AI strategy from one that drives real operational results.
Time, cost, revenue. Integration with your existing stack. And whether your team will actually use it.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What workflows deliver the fastest ROI from Ignite? +
High-volume, manually executed workflows that directly impact operational throughput, cost, or revenue consistently deliver the fastest returns. These are also the areas where we have the deepest production experience. During Discovery, we identify which workflows are right for your operation.
Our systems are heavily customized. Can Ignite work with them? +
Yes. Our team works with your environment rather than fitting you to ours. We have hands-on experience integrating across platforms: ERP, WMS, TMS, CRM, including heavily customized configurations. During Ignite, we assess your specific setup and build automation that works within it.
Do we need to replace our existing systems for Ignite? +
No. Ignite works within your existing technology environment. We build AI and automation that connects to the platforms you already run, not replace them. If we identify a gap in your tech stack during the roadmap phase, we'll recommend options, but replacement is never required.
How does Ignite handle complex, multi-location operations? +
We build location-specific business rules directly into the automation. During Discovery, we map how each location operates. During Design, we score opportunities that work across locations. During Deploy, each location runs its own rule set while the system maintains coordination across all of them.
What happens after Ignite ends? +
You'll have a prioritized AI roadmap, working tools deployed in your environment, and training delivered to your team. At that point, you have three options:
(1) Continue working with OnTrac AI to implement the next phase of your roadmap. (2) Take the roadmap and implement it with your internal team. (3) Take the roadmap to another vendor.
Everything we build during Ignite is yours. The tools, the documentation, the roadmap. We don't do vendor lock-in.
